The plan, usually triggered when a party buys a certain percentage of a firm, lets existing investors purchase more shares at a discount.Starboard owns about 7.33% of Mercury and has asked the company to raise the ownership threshold which triggers the rights plan to 15% from the current 7.5%, if it cannot fully remove the rights plan.\"We believe the rights plan is not in the best interests of the company's shareholders,\" Starboard said in its letter.Mercury did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.On Dec. 28, Mercury Systems had adopted a shareholder rights plan with a one-year duration. Separately, activist investor Jana Partners said last month that it would push Mercury to consider options for its business, including a potential sale.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9005093824,"gmtCreate":1642117852889,"gmtModify":1676533682377,"author":{"id":"3581495146931772","authorId":"3581495146931772","name":"Ben01","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b158a0cc5a97dd1cf647bb3d21cf2c9f","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3581495146931772","authorIdStr":"3581495146931772"},"htmlText":"Like and Comment Please.
